The species is Pleurotus citrinopileatus, and different sellers list it as Golden Oyster, Yellow Oyster, Gold Oyster or Yellow Golden Oyster — all the same mushroom.

Lab-Tested Liquid Culture for Reliable Growth
Our Grospore Golden / Yellow Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe contains vigorous living mycelium, lab-tested and prepared in our ISO-certified cleanroom to support healthy colonization and dependable cultivation performance.
Each 10ml (10cc) syringe offers:
- Live Mycelium, Not Spores – This is a liquid culture (LC) syringe, not a spore syringe. There is no germination step, so colonization begins as soon as you inoculate.
- Lab-Tested & ISO Cleanroom Prepared – Every batch is lab-tested for purity and prepared in an ISO-certified cleanroom, so what reaches you is clean, contaminant-free and viable.
- Faster Colonization – Active mycelium helps promote efficient colonization compared with starting from spores.
- Convenient 10ml (10cc) Syringe – 10cc and 10ml are the same volume. Easy to use with appropriately prepared sterile growing media, grain spawn or agar.
- Vigorous Genetics – Cloned, isolated Pleurotus citrinopileatus mycelium known for fast-growing characteristics and productive fruiting potential.
How to Grow Golden / Yellow Oyster Mushrooms
- Prepare the Substrate – Straw, hardwood sawdust, and other appropriately prepared lignocellulosic materials are commonly used for Golden Oyster cultivation. The same syringe can also be used to inoculate sterilized grain spawn, grain jars or bags, or an agar plate.
- Inoculate – Inject 2–3cc (2–3ml) per grain jar or bag through a self-healing injection port, using sterile technique in a still air box or in front of a laminar flow hood. Substrate may be sterilized or pasteurized.
- Colonize – Allow the mycelium to fully colonize the substrate under suitable incubation conditions.
- Initiate Fruiting – Once fully colonized, provide high humidity, indirect light, fresh-air exchange, and appropriate fruiting temperatures.
- Harvest & Enjoy – Harvest clusters while the caps remain firm and vibrant for the best texture, appearance, and culinary quality.

For once, the math actually worked in my favor. I used this on a couple grain jars and still had enough left to put a little to agar, which is more than I can say for some syringes that seem to contain optimism and half a teaspoon of liquid. The culture looked healthy, moved cleanly, and started growing without turning my project into a biology lesson about contamination. From a value standpoint, that matters more to me than fancy wording on a product page. If one 10cc syringe can cover multiple inoculations and do it reliably, I am not complaining. Golden oysters are fast enough that you feel like your money bought something alive rather than a very expensive refrigerator ornament. I would buy this again without needing to hold a board meeting first.

What helped most was that the instructions were direct and specific. Storage temperature, how much to use per jar, and the reminder about sterile technique were all stated clearly enough that I did not have to look up extra steps elsewhere. I used the syringe on grain jars and the process was straightforward. For anyone who wants basic guidance without filler, the instructions do the job.

Before ordering, I sent customer service a couple questions about whether this was live culture vs spores and how long I could keep it refrigerated before using it. I honestly expected a short generic reply, but I got a clear, friendly answer that actually addressed each point. They even explained the 10ml and 10cc wording so I knew I was reading it right. That kind of response made me feel much better about placing the order. After it arrived, I had one more question about using it on grain first, and support answered fast again with practical guidance instead of canned language. The syringe itself looked healthy and clean, but what really won me over here was how helpful and upbeat the team was. Great experience, and I would absolutely buy from them again.

Packaging was refreshingly competent. The syringe was capped securely, sealed neatly, and cushioned well enough that even my local delivery gorillas failed to do any damage. Nice to receive something mushroom-related that did not look like a science fair emergency.

First run with this variety and it was way less fussy than I expected. I used it on supplemented sawdust after expanding from grain, and the block recovered fast and pinned evenly. Color came in bright and the clusters were dense without much babysitting beyond keeping humidity up. Flavor was mild and a little nutty in a quick pan fry. I would buy this one again for an easy weekend grow.
Walter Briggs –
Instructions were clear enough. No guesswork, no fluff. That is all I wanted.
Darren, KS –
Kept it refrigerated for about a month. Still looked healthy and performed normally.

Packed this away in the fridge for about a month before I got around to using it, and it still took off quickly on grain. I appreciated that the syringe looked clean and was easy to handle without leaks or fuss. Good option if you are juggling projects and not inoculating the same day it arrives.

Stored upright at 39F for months. Still looked clean and took off quickly when finally used.

Price looked a little steep for 10cc, so yeah, I hesitated. But it was clean, active, and stretched across multiple inoculations without wasting any. Not cheap, just actually worth paying for if you want usable culture.

Pulled this out of the box and everything looked dialed in. Syringe was capped tight, needle was sealed separate, and nothing got banged around in transit. Super clean setup, which honestly makes a big difference for me.

Color me impressed. The syringe arrived cold-packed, clearly labeled, and with a cap that stayed put instead of rattling around in the mail. I tucked it in the fridge and used it a few weeks later with no issues at all.
